the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

HUMAN creative skill. AI is not human, has no creativity, no skill. It is not art.

So once again, AI does not have skill, it cannot practice, it has no knowledge. I will not change my mind on this. AI generated slop is built off the backs of real artists, is terrible for the environment, and is not art.

If I may say something to be funny (comic relief?), “boring!“ (I kid!!!!)

OK no, it’s not boring—it’s very important. I do mean to say the argument has played out quite well since folks started playing with DALLE. But I had never considered how we might talk about what a spider does compared to what humans do. (ah I’m sure it’s come up if I took the time to search it)

Thanks for bearing with my bad jokes.
